An Antique Weapon.
FronL the lSuLvdnio (GdO Wntchmnn


Mr.. R. L. Singellton brought into the
Waterman Office several days ago, a curious
old piece of what must have been an an
cient implement of warfare, which he picked
up In front of the court house. 1t is evi.
IDENTIFY the barrel of an old pistol OF the flint
and steel kind, and has a muzzle almost
large enough for rat 20 crawl into. The
sight is still on the barrel, and also a little
hole in the side through which the
powder was ignited. This old weap-
on has, perhaps, been lying IN
years. Perchance it was dropped by one of
Prevost's British soldiers when they
marched circuitously through Screven TO
hem in Gen. ASKS at Brier creek. Perchance
some pioneer hunter, as he stood amid the
forests growth where our court house now
stands, snapped and resnapped it at some
playful squirrel that leaped from tree to
tree before him, and in disgust threw it 10
the ground, where it has slept in silence
through century and walked up to find the
wilderness gone and a booming little town in
Is stead Perchance some red mans hand
once firmly grasped it and turning its
frowning rnuzzle against the white invader
in defense of his forests Or, perchancer
still 1t may have been thrown at some
fleeing darkey on that memorable election
day ten or twelve years ago. Anyhow, it
looks historic, and could it speak, would
doubtless tale unfold that would frizzle
UP the blood and cause each knotted and
particular hair to stand alone like the
bristles upon angry swine.

The savage is emphatically the child of
nature. He lives close to nature, his only
education is gained in natures school.
When the Indian receives an injury he
does not seek cure in mineral poisons, but
binds on the simple leaf, administers the
herbal tea, and with natures aid comes nat
ural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but, com

all their common ailments, 1t was only IN
very serious cases they sent for old saddle
bags with his physic, which quite as often
killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too far
away from nature, in every way, for ITS
own good. Our grandfathers and grand
mothers lived whatsoever, purer, better,
healthier, more natural lives than we do

OF course, did not know that she took the

ladies specializing in stocks. One of the
biggest and wealthiest brokers in town
operates for hundred ladies every day,
and has made 100000 out of women's

a match for the smartest men in the street.
She is genius in everything connected

more money in a week by honest and fair

Little hands so meekly folded
Over Frankie's pulseless breast,
Little heart we loved so fondly
Beats no more, he is at rest.
One frail, tender little blossom
God gave us now is gone,
Can we bear our sorrow bravely,
Candy say Thy will be done.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
But the angels love to linger
Where our darling sweetly sleeps.

u.s. Mr.. Summerfeld Baldwin, in his letter ac-
cepting the Prohibition nomination for Governor
of Maryland, says: "I am also in full sympathy
with all proper efforts to secure the purity of the
ballot-box. The late disclosures in the Criminal
Court of Baltimore city of the deliberately con-
cocted and most outrageous frauds upon it leave
no for doubt that there has existed for years
a well planned scheme, the object of which is to
violate the election laws, and thus to defraud the
people of their rights at the ballot-box, and that
through the very men chosen and sworn faithfully
to enforce these laws. An executive, free from
corrupt party or "boss" dictation, would have no
difficulty in selecting three honest and intelligent
men as supervisors of election for the city of Bal
timore, who would appoint upright and faithful
judges and Clerks and thus insure fair elections.
Governor Hamilton, few years ago, found such
men, and did not exhaust the number. And I
promise, if elected, to find three equally as good"

g-The great B. & o. deal has at last been
settled, syndicate of American and foreign bank
ers having advanced S1O,OOO,OOO to pay off the
floating debt of the road, of the conditions be-
ing that those who furnish the money shall have
the power to name the men who will hereafter con-
troll that great corporation. Of course this means
the retirement of Mr. Robert Garrett and his place
has been filled by the selection of Mr.. Samuel
Spencer, first vice-president of the B. & o. and
one of the Receivers of the Maryland Central
Railroad Company. Practically the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company will now have the control
ling interest in the B. & o., although it will con-
tinue under the same name as heretofore, with its
$4,000 miles of road. This move will do away
with the competing line to New York and work
on the B. & O. extension to that city will now stop.

B- The obtuse time-server who runs the Mary
land Journal, and who never was known to ex-
press an opinion upon any question-poitical or
otherwise-until the thing was a fixed fact, comes
at THE UNION in his usual classic and elegant
style, because we have had the independence to
speak our mind on the subject of the next Repub
lican nominee for the Presidency, and because we
decline to support for Office some men who we
cannot conscientiously endorse. We have no de-
sire to engage in controversy with this thick
witted editor, because good can come of it, but
we want to inform him that THE UNION is entirely
Independent of any party, clique or faction, and
that it will not be driven to the support of men or
measures that it does not approve. We will not
support for Office men who are not deserving of
public confidence, no matter to what party they
may belong, and this fact is already sufficiently
well understood by the people of Baltimore county.

GH>The ninth annual fair of the Baltimore
County Agricultural Society, which was held the
past week at Timonium, was perhaps the best ex-
hibition yet given by the Society. The display
of high bred cattle could not be surpassed, if
equalled, by any county in the State, while the
show of horses in all the various classes was most
creditable. There also good exhibits of other
kinds of stock, while the display of improved agri-
cultural machinery of all kinds was so large as to
be actually bewildering. The household depart
ment, which is always the centre of attraction to
the ladies' presented beautiful spectacle, the ex
hibits being simply innumerabe and of a charac-
ter that called forth words of praise and admira-
ton from all who had the pleasure of inspecting
them. The officers of the Society deserve great
deal Of credit for their able and untiring efforts to
insure the success of the fair and no one who has
not had actual experience in such work can form
an adequate idea of the real labor it entails upon
those whose duty it is to see that everything is
done at the right time and in the proper manner.
Col. D. M. Matthews, the president, and Mr.. VIM.
B. Sands, secretary, assisted by the managers and
other officials, left nothing undone to insure the
success Of the fair, and the people Of the county
appreciate the good work they did.

Ns- There are now four complete tickets in the
field for the local offices in Baltimore county and
it is kind of free for all race, go-as please.
Nearly two months will elapse before the election
and in that time great deal of work may be done
and great many changes may take place. II
anything should serve to bring out full vote this
multiplicity of tickets should do it, because there
is something presented that will suit almost every
taste, and the most hide-bound partisan and the
highest kicker ought to be able to suit himself
with the names presented. The prospects are for
a lively campaign and it will likely grow very hot
before the day of election.
